Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Dublin Sinn Féin highlighting hospital crisis through protest

Sinn Féin TD and Health spokesperson Louise O’Reilly has
said that when it comes to health, the Programme for Government is high in
aspiration and light on detail.

With the crisis in our health service showing no sign of
improvement, Sinn Féin activists will protest tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm
outside six Dublin Hospitals.

The Fingal TD said:

“The Minister for Health needs to take urgent action to
address the growing waiting lists and the crisis in our A&Es. The
Minister has repeatedly stated that there is no recruitment ban where hospitals
have resources to recruit but he knows that our hospitals are underfunded and
under resourced.

“We need to stop training our nurses and doctors for
export. The Programme for Government is high in aspiration and light on
detail.

“Next Thursday we will be debating the Health Estimates in
the Dáil and the Minister will have an opportunity to show how serious he is
about addressing this crisis.”
